The cards Question Who is the Russian physiologist best known for his experiments in classical conditioning with dogs? Tap to flip Answer Ivan Pavlov Question What was Pavlov's original area of interest when he started studying dogs? Tap to flip Answer The digestive system Question What is classical conditioning? Tap to flip Answer A process by which we learn to associate stimuli and so anticipate events Question What are the two types of responses to the environment that Pavlov distinguished? Tap to flip Answer Unconditioned (unlearned) responses and conditioned (learned) responses Question Which term names a stimulus that elicits a reflexive response in an organism? Tap to flip Answer Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) Question Which term names a natural, unlearned reaction to a given stimulus? Tap to flip Answer Unconditioned response (UCR) Question Which term names a stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response? Tap to flip Answer Neutral stimulus (NS) Question Which term names a stimulus that elicits a response after repeatedly being paired with an unconditioned stimulus? Tap to flip Answer Conditioned stimulus (CS) Question Which term names the behavior caused by a conditioned stimulus? Tap to flip Answer Conditioned response (CR) Question Which term names the initial period of learning in classical conditioning, when a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus become connected? Tap to flip Answer Acquisition Question What is extinction in classical conditioning? Tap to flip Answer The decrease in the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented with the conditioned stimulus Question Which term names the return of a previously extinguished conditioned response following a rest period? Tap to flip Answer Spontaneous recovery Question Which term names learning to respond differently to various stimuli that are similar? Tap to flip Answer Stimulus discrimination Question Which term names showing the conditioned response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus? Tap to flip Answer Stimulus generalization Question In operant conditioning, what do organisms learn to associate? Tap to flip Answer A behavior and its consequence Question Which psychologist first proposed the law of effect? Tap to flip Answer Edward Thorndike Question What does the law of effect say about behaviors followed by satisfying consequences? Tap to flip Answer They are more likely to be repeated Question What does the law of effect say about behaviors followed by unpleasant consequences? Tap to flip Answer They are less likely to be repeated Question Which psychologist developed operant conditioning for the systematic study of how behaviors are strengthened or weakened by their consequences? Tap to flip Answer B. F. Skinner Question What is another name for an operant conditioning chamber? Tap to flip Answer A Skinner box Question In operant conditioning, what does 'positive' mean? Tap to flip Answer Something is being added Question In operant conditioning, what does 'negative' mean? Tap to flip Answer Something is being taken away Question In operant conditioning, what does reinforcement do to a behavior? Tap to flip Answer It increases the behavior Question In operant conditioning, what does punishment do to a behavior? Tap to flip Answer It decreases the behavior Question Which term names adding a desirable stimulus to increase a behavior? Tap to flip Answer Positive reinforcement Question Which term names removing an undesirable stimulus to increase a behavior? Tap to flip Answer Negative reinforcement Question Which term names adding an undesirable stimulus to decrease a behavior? Tap to flip Answer Positive punishment Question Which term names removing a pleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior? Tap to flip Answer Negative punishment Question Which term names rewarding successive approximations of a target behavior? Tap to flip Answer Shaping Question Which term names reinforcers that have innate reinforcing qualities and are not learned? Tap to flip Answer Primary reinforcers Question Which term names giving a reinforcer each time a behavior is displayed? Tap to flip Answer Continuous reinforcement Question Which term names a schedule in which the organism is not reinforced every time it performs the behavior? Tap to flip Answer Partial (intermittent) reinforcement Question Which reinforcement schedule delivers reinforcement at predictable time intervals? Tap to flip Answer Fixed interval Question Which reinforcement schedule delivers reinforcement at unpredictable time intervals? Tap to flip Answer Variable interval Question Which reinforcement schedule delivers reinforcement after a predictable number of responses? Tap to flip Answer Fixed ratio Question Which reinforcement schedule delivers reinforcement after an unpredictable number of responses? Tap to flip Answer Variable ratio Question In a reinforcement schedule, what does 'interval' mean? Tap to flip Answer The schedule is based on the time between reinforcements Question In a reinforcement schedule, what does 'ratio' mean? Tap to flip Answer The schedule is based on the number of responses between reinforcements How this deck was checked On 2026-10-31, every card was compared with a primary source and with a second source from a different publisher. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong. Flash Feed is not affiliated with any source named here.
